Abstract Valentine's Day Window Display

Material Studies with Bougainvillea

A conceptual clothing line derived from a material study of bougainvillea flowers. Bougainvillea is an abundant, sustainable material that is locally sourced. The aim of this project was to experiment with the flowers and create a textile that would be easily manufactured and practical enough for everyday use. The product line, Baré, is named after botanist Jeanne Baré, who risked her life in pursuit of knowledge and adventure.

NARS Friendsgiving

Product design and event styling for a NARS launch event for beauty influencers. Click through the gallery to see photos from the event as well as concept renderings.

The goal of this event was to highlight two new products, an eyeshadow palette and six new shades of their Radiant Creamy Concealer. The colors of the eyeshadow palette were repeated throughout the house. Custom tables were designed to match the palette, bright strips of color on the floor led guests to explore the Beverly Hills home and an oversized eyeshadow palette became the backdrop for photos. The Radiant Creamy Concealer bar was designed to look like a giant candy dispenser with colored strips to highlight the six new shades. And the most photographed product of the night was the oversized #NARSISSIST hashtag at the edge of an infiniti pool.

Trailer Restoration

The past year and a half, I've been rebuilding a 1966 Playmor travel trailer, affectionately named The Bean. This has been a personal project that's really challenged me to learn more about classic restoration techniques, new building techniques, interior design, project management and everything in between. The Bean will set sail for its maiden voyage in 2018! You can read about my entire process here.

All renderings are built in Rhino and rendered in Keyshot. They are a little sneak peek of what the trailer will look like upon completion.

Vlux: A Modern Lantern

work in progress

Vlux is a modern lantern designed to illuminate as many spaces as you like. Vlux was created out of a need for a more attractive multi-purposed light that was as lightweight as easy to carry as a flashlight but with enough appeal to be used indoors, as well. The lantern is made from stacked, lasercut plywood. Embedded in each face are magnets so that the lights can snap to a fridge or any ferrous surface as well as to other vlux lights.

Bug Buddies

Reimagining a Playground

This project, designed in conjunction with IED Barcelona, transformed the blank slate of a concrete playground into a multipurpose game space.
